CRON JOB: is_cli_request returns false instead of true

[eluser]bogdan3l[/eluser]

Code:

<?php

class Cron extends CI_Controller
{
    public function clean()
    {
        if ($this->input->is_cli_request())
        {
            // do something
        }
        else
        {
            redirect('/');
        }
    }
}

/usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/index.php cron clean

Any suggestions? Thank you!

Many well tuned large Linux servers, run cron jobs in cgi mode, not cli, for greater CPU efficiency, lower memory use, and better PHP opcode caching.

Any workarounds? No one?

Changed:

Code:

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';

To

Code:

$config['uri_protocol'] = 'AUTO';

And everything works great!
